STUDENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Battle Creek Central is proud of its heritage as an institution of learning. We feel we have an academic program that is as fine as any in the state. However, we feel that a good education involves much more than class work. In order to aid students to become well-rounded individuals, we encourage every Bearcat to join at least one club available in BEARCAT COUNTRY. A short description of the clubs and other information follows: NATIONAL
ART HONOR SOCIETY - membership in this chapter is based upon scholarship,
service, and character. Students elect officers, visit art exhibits, and
develop community service projects. BAND

student body, as Follies is open to all students. It is a professional
quality all-school talent and variety show. Produced in January, it features
vocal solo, groups, dance acts, and has it own jazz band and chorus line.
Acts and performers are selected through competitive auditions held in
the fall of each school year. INSTRUMENTAL

Marching Band) is only open to experienced wind and percussion students.
